2 Month Anniversary / Winter Event!Winners! And the winners are..... Okay, so. First things first - none of these were easy decisions, by any means. We had a whole lot of talented new folks show up, and a lot of equally-talented veterans of the shop, and we certainly hope that you are all proud of what you've done here! If you didn't win, don't think that means your character idea sucked! Please, consider making an RP-only Sentinel or see if you can get one of the custom slots we'll be opening up soon. The only real drawback to these character-form and RP prompts is that we can't award the same Sentinel to two or more people. That said, we did have to make some decisions, and here they are: Silent AuctionsRP PromptThe Elite goes to... Shikai-Chan! Character-form PromptThe Aberrant and his Serpe go to... PearlyBlue! Character-form PromptsGhost Female - Angmar Ghost Male - Tsunake Wildtype Female - Asahi Kumoru Wildtype Male - Storei Deep Woods Female - xSilverKitsune Deep Woods Male - Britain

Event number 1 - Ye Olde Free Raffle!Start: Page 493 End: Page 693 Winners!Male - Sukkubus (575-12) Female - MoonKitsune (668-6) At the end of the event, after all of the other Sentinels have been distributed and the excitement has quieted down, we will be raffling off these two lovely Wildtypes: These two Sentinels are drawn on the alternate adult line-art, which we will be releasing soon. Stay tuned for more details on the alternate lineart, to be released after the event has ended! There will be no cost to enter. Every post made in this thread from now until page 693 will be considered as an entry for the raffle. We will draw by first randomizing between 493 and 693 to select the page that the winning post is on, and then from 1-15 to pick the winner. This process will be repeated twice, once for each Sentinel. Bump or fluff entries will not be considered as valid 'raffle tickets' and in the event that such an entry wins we will re-draw. All you have to do to enter is post in the thread! Have a conversation, share pet photos or stories, ask about the Sentinels or their world.. we don't really care what you talk about, just get to know each other and have fun! * We reserve the right to decide what is a 'fluff' post and will not be argued with, sorry.

Event Number 3 - RP-prompt Silent AuctionAnd the winner is... Shikai-Chan!Up for grabs here is this distinguished Elite: If you win, not only do you get an Aberrant Sentinel on the alternate female lineart, but you automatically receive a restricted-profession character! How cool is that? Now, an RP-prompt Silent Auction may sound a bit weird at first, so let us explain the details: You post your response to the prompt here, in the Guild. You send your bid to the mule, and don't tell anyone else what you've bid. Once the bidding is closed, we will judge the entries and pick a winner based on a combination of the quality of the RP prompt and the amount of the bid.
Terms of the RP Prompt Silent Auction:
- monthly items are accepted at 90% of Tektek - if there are no suitable entries within the time-limit, the Sentinel may not be awarded to any of the entrants. - post your response to the RP prompt in the Guild, and send your bid to the mule - you can not change the base colour or sex - the winner will be announced after the entries have been judged and bids have been tallied - the winner will be picked based on both monetary bid and the RP prompt, so don't let your worries about the $$$ you have stop you from entering! - although this is not an RP required shop, we ask that you not enter the contest if you don't intend to RP. Elites are important to the plot, so we'd rather they not sit around collecting dust! Please type up the best response you can to the following prompt. Post it here (we will not tolerate copying or idea stealing). Remember, you are RPing the Elite's immediate response to this situation, but you may also choose to RP a longer scene including a report to Sleet. Quote: RP Prompt: Ever since the hatching of the Spectre, the Elites have been on high alert. Some watch the borders for any sign of invasion, some range beyond the borders, and some.. well, some are assigned to a task they might find most unsavoury. But the Brigadier promised that the Spectre would be given the chance to survive, and so he has assigned his Elites to watch over the chick. Here is one such Elite, new to the ranks. She is lurking near two Sentinels, speaking in an area they thought was secluded enough to avoid notice. They speak of dark plans, and death for the hatchling. Nobody else could possibly know what she has overheard, leaving the opportunity to save the Spectre to rest on her shoulders alone. What will she do? Good luck! Note: Do you want to enter, but you're finding it difficult to do so because you're not a member of the Guild and therefore can't post here? Well, then apply to join the Guild! You don't have to own a Sentinel to be here - heck, you don't even have to own a Sentinel to RP a Sentinel character!

Event Number 4 - Character-form Prompt Silent AuctionAnd the winner is.. Pearlyblue!Up for grabs here is this Aberrant male and his extremely rare companion: If you win, not only do you get an Aberrant Sentinel on the alternate male lineart, but you also get his more-than-just-a-Rare companion! How cool is that? Now, a Character-form Prompt Silent Auction may sound a bit weird at first, so let us explain the details: You post your character form, in the Guild. You send your bid to the mule, and don't tell anyone else what you've bid. Once the bidding is closed, we will judge the entries and pick a winner based on a combination of the quality of the Character-form prompt and the amount of the bid.
Terms of the Character-form Prompt Silent Auction:
- monthly items are accepted at 90% of Tektek - if there are no suitable entries within the time-limit, the Sentinel may not be awarded to any of the entrants. - post your character form in the Guild, and send your bid to the mule - you can not change the base colour or sex - the winner will be announced after the entries have been judged and bids have been tallied - although this is not an RP required shop, we ask that you not enter the contest if you don't intend to RP Please type up the best character form you can. Post it in the thread (we will not tolerate copying or idea stealing). Remember, since this companion is completely capable of killing an adult Sentinel you will need to justify its existence - why does this Sentinel have such a huge and deadly Serpe? How does he control it? Where and how did he get it? These are the sorts of issues you need to address. The Form Part I – The SentinelPlayer: (Gaia username) Name: (Self-explanatory.) Nicknames: (If any commonly known.) Species: Sentinel of Noctua Age: (This is a rough estimate, not a number: hatchling, fledgling, young adult, adult, middle aged, senior, old enough to know better, etc *) Hatch Date: (Day/Month only) Type: Aberrant Task: (Hunter, Minder, Scout, Ranger, etc. *) Personality: (A brief paragraph describing your Sentinel’s outlook on life, quirks, and general attitude.)

Certificate: (Post the link to the cert) Part Ib – Will (Optional)(We don't require this information for you to be able to RP, but if you plan to submit a Sentinel who will use their Will more than is normal we would greatly appreciate it!) Strength: (Usually 2-5, anything more than 6 must be justified) Accuracy: (Usually lower than Strength, anything more than 6 must be justified) Affinity: (Most Sentinels do not have an affinity; Crafters are among the most common to have one. Choose only one from: wood, stone, soft metals, gemstones, and water.) Part II – CompanionsName: (Name!) Species: Serpe Age: (Young, Adult, Elder) Speech Ability: (Rate from 1-5, see Companions post for details) Intelligence: (Rate from 1-5, see Companions post for details) Skill:(Something they’re particularly good at, or used for.)

You don't have to own a Sentinel to be here - heck, you don't even have to own a Sentinel to RP a Sentinel character!

Event Number 5 - Custom Lineart Auction - Done!Congrats, Britain!
Winning Bid of ~1.2milBritain won a completely custom Sentinel, drawn by Jaeger. Here are a few examples of past custom lineart: The higher the bid goes, the fancier the art and colouring could get. At our discretion, the bid amount could also cover companion(s) and accessories - just ask if you're not sure, we try to be pretty reasonable. Terms of the Custom Lineart Auction: - monthly items are accepted at 90% of Tektek - a higher bid = fancier art, but we don't ladder here - absolutely no copying of existing lineart or colour patterns will be allowed - please send trade for half the auction amount within 24 hours - the other half is due when the sketch is approved

Event Number 6 - Happy Family Auction - Done!Congrats, Meepfur!
Winning bid of 800KMeepfur won a family group of Sentinels, about to experience the joys of hatching for the very first time! The proud parents have recently laid their first egg (who will be an Aberrant when hatched) and are naively excited: This auction will be interesting, in that we will allow and encourage group bids! If two or three people want to band together to bid on this family group, then go ahead! You guys just have to sort out between you who gets to RP which Sentinel, but you can pool your resources and try to win as a group. Terms of the Happy Family Auction: - monthly items are accepted at 90% of Tektek - even if you bid alone you may only keep one Sentinel for yourself, all other Sentinels must be given to other players - please send trade for the auction amount within 24 hours - co-owning of single Sentinels is not allowed, but you may bid as a group

Event #9 - RP Event - The Longest NightStart: January 6 End: January 26 All were welcome to take part in this open RP, which lasted for a raockin' twenty days! The Sentinels assembled in the Meeting Area, eager to hear the words of the Brigadier. Join them, and hearken to his words!Anyone with an approved character may take part - if you do not yet own a Sentinel (or if you own an egg), then you may apply for an RP-only character and join in! Please read all the appropriate rules and guidelines and send your application to the mule. There may, at our discretion, be prizes for participation. The goal is to have fun, but if it turns out that an eager RPer takes part in the action and they don't already own a Sentinel, well... they may just find that they are gifted with the opportunity to obtain one, at the end of the event. Go, take part in The Longest Night!--- RP-Event PrizesThe first prize we awarded went to Annchen, for her portrayal of Birch! Annchen won the opportunity to get her wishlist custom, Linnéa, without waiting for a slot and at flatsale prices. Congratulations! The second prize we awarded went to three dedicatedly RPing folks who didn't already have certed Sentinels - they each won a ghost egg! Congratulations, Shinzick of Teh, Zvonimir Stojkovic, and Sir Ichigo!
